Delivery makes Irishman's day after sender puts three simple words on the parcel

A simple gesture from a person that was sending a parcel to Ireland left quite the impression on the person that received it because the sender took the time to write fragile in three different languages on the package.

In a post on Reddit, an Irishman said that he purchased a guitar pedal from Joey's Gear on Reverb.com.

"Bought something from Spain and the absolute legend wrote 'Fragile' in Irish, English, and Spanish," the customer wrote.

The careful employee took the time to write the message in Irish (leochaileach), Spanish (frágil) and English (fragile), rather than just let it be shipped without any instruction or warning.

Since this random act of kindness was shared online, some people were quick to point out that the Irish translation means emotionally fragile, but that this slight error paled in significance when compared to the thought behind it.

Other people commented on how considerate and kind the act was, with one person succinctly summing things up by saying "it's the small things".

Fair play to that employee.
